The Atlanta Braves' much-criticized payroll limit of the past four years is going, going, gone. Last week's trading binge that brought slugger Mark Teixeira and two relief pitchers to the team signals a new economic philosophy under Liberty Media ownership, Braves chairman and CEO Terry McGuirk said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. n the final four years of Time Warner ownership, the Braves operated with a strict $80 million payroll ? a self-imposed cap that frustrated fans and forced the team to unload a series of star players. But since Liberty Media bought the team in May, the Braves are operating without a pre-determined limit on player payroll, McGuirk said. "I can honestly tell you we don't have payroll numbers in mind right now for this year or next year," McGuirk said. "It's really about creating an organization that has the ability to win a pennant, win a World Series. "Whatever we do has to make business sense," he added.
